Having restored a 1959 MGA myself, I can appreciate just how difficult it is to get these cars into concours condition (getting the doors to line up perfectly took me days). Your car is beautiful. My only suggestion (and I suppose it's entirely subjective) would be to get rid of all the badges on the front bumper bar. They detract from the clean, elegant lines of the grille. Also, a very nice color (it doesn't look original though... is that Riviera Blue?)
